Application filed. April 2,

'1 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FEED T. Soon, a citizenof the United States, residing at Mount Vernon, in the county of Poseyand State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Improvements inRadiators for Automobiles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to radiators for motor vehicles of all kindsemploying water as a cooling medium for the motor, and has for itsobject the provision of a novel form of radiator in which the water willbe very quickly and effectively cooled and in which the circulation willbe continuous and automatic.

An important object is the provision of a radiator which will be simpleand inexpensive in manufacture, highly efficient in use,

durable in service, and a general improvement in the art.

With the above and other objects and advantages in view the inventionconsists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fullydescribed and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings inwhich- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a radiator constructed inaccordance with my invention,

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view therethrough,

Figure 3 is a horizontal cross sectional view taken above the partitionplate,

Figure 4 is a cross sectional view on the line l4 of Figure 2.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the numeral designates ashell which is of substantially rectangular shape with rounded corners.This shell includes the top 11, bottom 12, sides 13, and front and backplates 14 and 15. Secured to the sides 13 are the usual attachingbrackets 16 by means of which the radiator is secured to the frame ofthe vehicle upon which it is to be used.

The top 11 is provided with the usual filling neck 17 carrying a cap 18.The bottom 12 is provided with the usual drain pipe 19 having a draw-offcock therein.

Extending across the upper portion of the casing or shell at apointspaced somewhat below the top 11, is a partition plate 20 whichdefines a water compartment 21. Extending from the back plate andcommunicating with the compartment 21 is a pipe member 22 by means ofwhich connection is made to the water outlet hose of the motor. SecuredSpecification of Letters Patent.

1920, Serial No. 370,799.

transversely of the shell at a point spaced above the bottom 12 is atube plate 24L which defines a water compartment 25 and extending fromthe back plate 15 and communicating with this compartment 25 is a pipemember 26 by means of which connection is made to the water inlet of themotor.

Extendin vertically between the partition plate anc tube plate 2 1 is aplurality of vertically extending tubes 27 which are located at thecenter and disposed at the sides of these tubes are other tubes 28 andall these tubes establish communication between the compartments 21 and25. Disposed within the shell at both sides of the center thereof arecurved tubes 29 which have their lower ends extending through the tube2d and communicating with the compartment and which have their upperends leading into the central tubes 27.

In order to permit the passage of air through the shell, the front andback plates '14 and 15 thereof are provided with openings 30 whichpermit the air to come in con tact with all the tubes for the purpose ofcooling the water therein.

In the use of the radiator it will be seen that the hot water passingfrom the engine through the pipe 22 into the compartment 21 will passthrough the tubes 28 into the compartment 25. The water in thecompartment 21 will also pass through the tubes 29 into the tubes 27 andinto the compartment 25. It is of course apparent that the water passesfrom the compartment 25 through the pipe 26 into the engine.

From the foregoing description and a study of the drawings it will'beapparent that I have thus provided a simple and efii cient radiator forautomobiles which will effectually cool the water in the circulatorysystem.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment ofmy-invention, it is of course to be understood that I reserve the rightto make such changes in the form, construction, and arrangement of partsas will not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of thesubjoined claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

A radiator comprising a shell having its front and rear wallsperforated, .a transverse partition plate within the upper portion ofsaid shell defining an upper water compartmcnt a transverse tube platewithin the line of the shell; and a plurality of curved, lower portionof the shell defining a lower tubes communicating at their lower endswater compartment, pipe members extending with the lower compartment andcommuni- 10 from said compartments for connection with eating at theirupper ends with said first a motor, a plurality of vertical tubeseXt-endnamed tubes.
